In my last order from WLT there was a little green spray bottle and a note. In short it said try this on some bright leaf. So I did.
I've never cased tobacco like this before.
I remember a time when we would take an apple or a carrot to moisten tobacco when it got dry and, it did matter what you used.
Since then I've heard of some of the stuff added to tobacco for enhancement.
More cigarette tobaccos then cigar tobaccos. Licorice, citrus, Cocoa, invert Syrup, propylene Glyco, Glycerine, sodium Benzoate.
I've heard of some infused and flavored cigars.
I heard it's common to add things to the water in fermentation piles and, when re-hydrating for cigar assembly for enhancement but, I don't think that is something that is admitted so much.
I mean we all have seen those recipes for store bought cigarettes.
We all know you can't beat whole leaf; well that's my opinion.
But using this stuff on my cigarette tobacco really got my interest perked.
My favorite was strait Virginian bright leaf.
I just sprayed it on some dried tobacco and let it dry to a good smoking moisture.
It had a nice way of giving it a mellowing of the tobaccos rawness.
I'm not sure, Don didn't say but, I think it was the casing #3 vanilla/coffee based casing, which I could smell but, the taste is pleasantly different somehow.
I look forward to my future casing travels. Thanks Don.
